Being a night owl was never the obstacle. Believing your morning has to feel good before it can be productive is.
A single slip does almost no damage on its own. The damage comes from the story you tell yourself about what it means and the week you throw away because of it.
You keep waiting to feel ready before you start, but feeling ready was never the requirement. Motivation shows up after you move, not before.

Heroic effort feels impressive and produces almost nothing. Boring, repeated action feels like nothing and produces almost everything.

You do not lose to temptation. You lose to the room you keep putting yourself in. Fix the room and the fight mostly disappears.
